Excellent piece of investigative research and problem solving. Looks like Karcher have been too busy 'value-engineering' their product and it fails just outside of warranty! Wonder what the cost of the 'O-Rings' that failed was? Another example of the built-in obsolescence culture that is foisted upon us?
The parts seem quite expensive. For instance a complete new motor is circa £220 :blink: I'm sure if you shopped around you'd find all of the spares required, that's one bonus to the big brand name I suppose.
Just disappointing that Karcher design engineers have thrown all of that R&D into designing 'market leading' pressure washers, but then skimp on things like gaskets and seals that are almost guaranteed to fail in a short number of years. Not what you expect for £300+ of her majesties pound sterling.

Always like guys with an enquiring mind and a willingness to freely share 'useful' information. That's another of the advantages of forums and the interwebby. Good guy is Dagzook or as a red-top tabloid might put it "The Boy Done Good" = Thank you Sir!.
